<span>This problem uses the
relationship between Ka and the concentrations of the ions. Calculations are as follows:</span>
<span>
</span><span>1.9 x 10-5</span>= x^2 / (0.25 - x)
<span>x is very small and the denominator is approximately equal to 0.25. Thus, x is 2.2 x 10^-3
</span><span>pH = -log (2.2 x 10^-3)</span> = 2.66
